On Oprah Catholic Nuns to Share Time With A Western Geisha.

The Anchoress is wary and wonders why as to Catholic vocations the media is obsessed about sex.

See Dominican Sisters on Oprah

Update- Bad Habit has a excellent comment in my comment section as well as post on this. See NUNS, GEISHA’S AND STUFF. For some reason I thought the show was today so I missed it.

Wow...Anchoress and I are on the same track (although her blog is far superior to mine), I wrote a post about it today. I did see the show and I was just thrilled with the performance of the Dominican nun community that was featured. They were just amazing! I was very leery of Oprah, because frankly, I don't care for her. But the nuns kept Oprah from making it all about sex and materialism, and they put it all in its proper perspective.

I was very impressed....with the nuns, not Oprah. I didn't get a chance to watch the part about the Geisha's because I have no interest in them. I would have preferred that Oprah do a complete shows just on the nuns and the Geisha's separately. But...well, we're talking about Oprah here.

Why the negativity towards Oprah? We should love all, including the Geisha's. I think the Nun's looked great. It is wonderful that they got to be featured for all they do and the goodness they spread. I kind of feel many great girls/women, will think about being in service of the lord from watching this.

Excellent showcase on the wonderful nuns. They get so little press.

I'm amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that's
both equally educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy that I found this during my hunt for something
relating to this.
